Initiatives to Maximize Student Development in Translational Medicine (IMSDTM) Summary Statement Over the last 20 years many professional organizations have documented that an insufficient number of underrepresented students are being trained in biomedical sciences, including those trained for research in translational medicine (TM) despite the significant increase in job opportunities for well-trained TM scientists. Lack of exposure and training opportunities for historically underrepresented populations (URPs) severely hampers their capacity to fill this national need. The College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVMBS) at Colorado State University (CSU) proposes to create a unique training opportunity for URM Pre-doctorates to earn a PhD or DVM/PhD in TM. CVMBS has a strong history of T32 pre-doctoral training programs as well as T35 summer research experiences for DVM, DVM/MS, and DVM/PhD students interested in TM, but has seen just a moderate increase in URPs entering graduate programs. We seek to enhance our efforts in training and recruiting URPs by leveraging pre-existing training programs; as well as develop new pre- doctorate programs specifically designed to provide URPs with a an inclusive, supportive and comprehensive training environment for research, communication, and career development in TM. The proposed plan provides comprehensive and flexible TM training to facilitate basic biomedical and clinical research. To achieve these goals, five objectives are proposed: (1) Increase the number of PhD students from under-represented backgrounds with interest and aptitude for TM research to enter a mentored training program. (2) Enhance existing programs by building a flexible and rigorous research training program for students in basic and clinical research. (3) Encourage, support and enhance TM training and collaboration through CSU’s new Translational Medicine Institute (4) Facilitate entry into the workforce by providing training in team research, science communication and professional development experiences. (5) Build social and learning networks to provide a supportive and inclusive environment, enabling timely completion of the PhD degree. These frameworks will support our IMSDTM students through individualized counseling, mentoring and advising relationships at multiple levels. Success will be determined by a comprehensive assessment by the CSU Institute for Research in the Social Sciences. We will recruit historically underrepresented students to our IMSDTM training program from CSU’s NSF CO-WY AMP program; Fort Lewis College, a non-Tribal College Native American serving institution; CSU-Pueblo, a Hispanic Serving Institution with well-established undergraduate training program for Hispanic students; CVMBS undergraduates from three Departments of Microbiology, Immunology, Pathology, Biomedical Sciences, Environmental Radiological Health Sciences, and the Cellular & Molecular biology program. This comprehensive training approach will prepare IMSDTM scholars to successfully complete their PhD degrees and enter careers in the multiple discipline areas found in translational medicine The IMSDTM cohort will enhance the experience of all our students by increasing diversity of experiences, thought and perspectives in our graduate programs.

最大限度地提高学生转化医学发展的举措（IMSDTM） 总结声明 过去 20 年来，许多专业组织都记录了代表性不足的人数不足的情况。 学生正在接受生物医学科学培训，包括接受转化医学（TM）研究培训的学生 尽管训练有素的TM科学家的就业机会显着增加。缺乏接触和培训 历史上代表性不足的人口（URP）的机会严重阻碍了他们填补这一国家空白的能力 需要。科罗拉多州立大学 (CSU) 兽医与生物医学科学学院 (CVMBS) 建议 为 URM 博士预科生创造独特的培训机会，以获得 TM 博士学位或 DVM/PhD。 CVMBS 拥有悠久的历史 T32 博士前培训项目以及 DVM、DVM/MS 和 DVM/PhD 的 T35 夏季研究经验 对 TM 感兴趣的学生，但进入研究生课程的 URP 略有增加。我们力求增强 我们通过利用现有的培训计划来培训和招聘 URP；以及开发新的预 专门为URP提供包容性、支持性和全面培训的博士课程 TM 研究、交流和职业发展的环境。拟议的计划提供了全面的 灵活的TM培训，以促进基础生物医学和临床研究。为了实现这些目标，有五个目标 建议：(1) 增加来自代表性不足背景、有兴趣和有能力的博士生数量 TM 研究进入指导培训计划。 （二）加强现有项目建设，建立灵活、严谨的机制 基础和临床研究学生的研究培训计划。 （三）鼓励、支持和加强TM培训和 通过科罗拉多州立大学新的转化医学研究所进行合作 (4) 通过提供 团队研究、科学传播和专业发展经验方面的培训。 (5) 建立社交和学习 网络提供支持性和包容性的环境，以便及时完成博士学位。这些 框架将通过个性化咨询、指导和建议关系来支持我们的 IMSDTM 学生 多个级别。成功与否将由科罗拉多州立大学社会研究所的综合评估决定 科学。我们将从科罗拉多州立大学 NSF CO-WY 招募历史上代表性不足的学生参加我们的 IMSDTM 培训计划 AMP 计划；路易斯堡学院，一所非部落学院美洲原住民服务机构；科罗拉多州立大学-普韦布洛，西班牙裔服务 拥有完善的西班牙裔学生本科培训项目的机构； CVMBS 本科生来自 微生物学、免疫学、病理学、生物医学、环境放射卫生三个系 科学以及细胞和分子生物学项目。这种全面的培训方法将为 IMSDTM 做好准备 学者们成功完成博士学位并进入翻译中的多个学科领域的职业生涯 医学 IMSDTM 队列将通过增加体验的多样性来增强我们所有学生的体验， 我们研究生课程中的思想和观点。
